I don't like hot dogs. I think I've never I had didn't like hot dogs when I was a kid and I think that's some of that started with when I was a really young kid, you know, I'd have

baloney sandwich after baloney sandwich and so then anything that even remotely resembled baloney I hated and you know, everybody says go to the

ball gave me to hot dog not me and no it's not a sandwich. I'm not into hot dogs and with all due respect to those that are but you know they can have

mine so there'll be more for them.

The TVTF is so amazing and I know you're gonna do better.

I was skeptical. It seemed too good to be true. I'm so glad I tried it.

I'm not very good with chit chat. I like a structured communication. I like a hard out, you know, chit chat, chit chat, chit chat, chit chat, where are we going right now?

Too loud, Cynthia. Too loud and too specific. Let the filibustering begin.

Alright, here we go. It's time for a Thursday. Thursday. Gotta get down on Thursday edition of TVTL. This is of course the show. That's too beautiful to live.

Why now? What are they doing? And how can you steer clear of it all? My name is Andrew Walsh. Starting to wind down my two-week stint here in the captain's chair, Luke Burbank.

He's going to be back from vacation in a matter of no time. He'll be back on Monday as a matter of fact.

Frankly, after what I've done to this show in the past couple of weeks, I don't know if I'm going to have a job when he gets back.

So I say, we jam as much fun in today's show as possible.

Think about what you're saying right now because it's the smartest idea anyone's ever had.

Thought so. It's currently like 84 degrees here in Wallingford according to my phone in the Seattle area.

Inside the offices of Walsh Walsh and Dormat, I'm putting it at a cool 102. Got the Blue Angels ripping up the skies outside my window right now.

And we've got a lot to talk about on TVTL, including the story of an ordinary crow that did an extraordinary thing.

I just, I didn't mean to slip into Casey case in there, but I think I did.

I say this crow is going to have a future as a motivational speaker. I will tell you why.

And I want to introduce you first to today's special guest to writing shotgun here with me today.

She was recently named editor of the year by the public radio news director's organization.

She's interim president of the Seattle Association of Black Journalists and she's the best dang public radio fundraiser I've ever heard.
